Queer art has achieved greater prominence in recent years, yet the LGBTQIA+ community’s struggle for freedom and equality persists. There are currently over 540 state-legislated bills threatening the rights and needs of non-binary individuals, including targeted measures against transgender people.
Rochester Contemporary Art Center has partnered with ImageOut for ‘Queering Democracy’ which includes over 50 works from 14 US States and spans a wide range of media. We hope this exhibition will serve as a reflection of our current moment, and as a poignant response to the alarming rise of anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation sweeping the nation.
Stay tuned for additional events and public talks.
